The Sant Vicent Tower formed part of the group of 18 watchtowers that the coast of Castellón came to possess. It was built between 1597 and 1599 to strengthen the defence system of the so-called Olla de Benicàssim, which already had the Torre de Sant Julià to the northeast, as it was an easy landing area for corsairs and Barbary pirates. The construction of this fortress put an end to the depopulation of the town caused by the insecurity derived from the attacks and made its Town Charter possible in 1603. The tower, whose name of Sant Vicente is documented at least as early as 1607, was once guarded by a garrison of five men (a warden, two soldiers and two atajadors), and was equipped with firearms and an artillery piece.
